Tips For Your Reading Test
- Don’t start by reading the whole text and then the questions: you don’t have time to do this. Start by skimming: look at the title, headings the text. This will give you a good overview.
- Now look at the questions and underline key words. As you do this, think of synonyms for these words because these are likely to occur in the text. For example, the word “game” might appear in the question, where the original word in the text is “match”.
- Make sure you are familiar with the question types. You can only do this by spending as much time as possible practising.
